Topic: Whirlpool dryer won't stay on (Read 2967 times)

Recently picked up a Whirlpool DWJR-ELE-2406026-FM54 that won't stay on for more than a few seconds. The door switch and main on switch seem to be fine from my tests and I believe it's an automatic shutoff of sorts. Took the motor out and cleaned it, turns much smoother but after reassembling it still had the same problem. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

If it still does it after cleaning the sensors I would check the thermistor for continuity.

I've cleaned all sensors and run it with wet clothes in it. It will run for a few seconds then shutoff or held down or jumped to override the switch it will run for about 30 seconds before shutting off and not turning back on. It will start a few times for a few seconds then shutoff and won't start at all for a bit. I have not checked with voltage meter, won't have one for a couple days. Thanks a ton for the suggestions!
